Opis

Excerpt from The Life and Works of Charles Lamb, Vol. 5 of 12 I have arranged the poems as far as possible in chronological order. Lamb put so much of his per sonal history into his verse that when so presented it forms a delightful running commentary upon his life and education. In his early sonnets we read of his happy holiday seasons with his grandmother, Mrs. Field, at Blakesware, and the first and only love romance of his life. Then we are reminded of such alleviations of his sad and monotonous family story as were afforded by a rare excursion to the seaside or the more frequent visit to the theatre, or best of all by his correspondence or occasional meetings with Coleridge and Lloyd. Then, for a while, the verse becomes darkened by domestic ca lamity, and the sonnet measure of Bowles gives place to the blank verse of Cowper, whose pious example seems to have given courage to Lamb's own deep sense of need to express itself in verse. But as we read on, we trace mind and spirit recov ering from their great shock, and braced by new friendships and fresh literary interests and sympa thies. A żeeting passion for Hester Savory inspires his sweetest lyric, and his struggle with the seduo tions of his sweet enemy, Tobacco, produces the first and most remarkable of those poems in which he shewed himself the disciple of Wither and Jon.
